1. Describe the two types of cartilaginous joints and give examples of each. 2. Both functional and structural classifications can be used to describe an individual joint. Define the first sternocostal joint and the pubic symphysis using both functional and structural characteristics.
Describe the structural features of cartilaginous joints. Distinguish between a synchondrosis and symphysis. Give an example of each type of cartilaginous joint. As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. These types of joints lack a joint cavity ...
Cartilaginous joints are types of joints in the human body where the bones are attached by cartilage, allowing for limited movement between them. These joints provide stability while permitting some flexibility necessary for movements such as bending or twisting.
